Gets a reference to the server control's naming container, which creates a unique namespace for differentiating between server controls with the same Control.ID property value. (Inherited from Control.)

Called by the ASP.NET page framework to notify server controls that use composition-based implementation to create any child controls they contain in preparation for posting back or rendering. (Inherited from Control.)

Infrastructure. Searches the current naming container for a server control with the specified id and an integer, specified in the pathOffset parameter, which aids in the search. You should not override this version of the FindControl method. (Inherited from Control.)

Causes tracking of view-state changes to the server control so they can be stored in the server control's StateBag object. This object is accessible through the Control.ViewState property. (Inherited from Control.)

The HtmlMeta control provides programmatic access to the HTML <meta> element on the server. The HTML <meta> element is a container for data about the rendered page, but not page content itself. The <meta> tag is placed between the opening and closing HTML <head> elements. Each <meta> element describes a metadata property name and its associated value.

Use the HtmlMeta control's Name property to specify the metadata property name, and the Content property to specify the metadata property value. Use the Scheme property to specify additional information to user agents on how to interpret the metadata property. Use the HttpEquiv property in place of the Name property when the resulting metadata property will be retrieved using HTTP.

You can get a reference to the page <head> element using the Header property of the Page object.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the HtmlMeta control to define HTML <meta> elements for a Web page. Two <meta> elements are defined, one listing keywords describing the page and one listing the date the page was created.
